How To Install Packs

Hello!

We hope that you're enjoying the new launcher and platform, but some users have been a bit confused about how to install packs now.  There's no big "Add A Pack" button in the launcher, and that's causing some confusion.  Over the next couple days, we'll be improving the way the launcher directs you to install new packs, but in the meantime, here are the three ways that you can install a modpack on the Technic Launcher.

Search For It

The search bar on the left side of the launcher can be used to find the packs your heart desires.  Just put a single term and the best packs of the platform that match will be brought to your launcher.  Don't see what you want?  Click the "Find more" link at the bottom to see more results, and use the second installation method.

Searching For Packs 

Install From the Platform

Are you already at the Platform page for the pack you want?  With your launcher open, click "Install This Modpack".  It will be added to your Launcher!  It's magic.

Install This Modpack

Or, If All Else Fails

Just about anything can be put into the search bar, and the launcher will do its absolute best to turn that into an installed pack.  Got a Platform API link?  That'll work.  Almost anything will work, and we hope you'll use this advice to try out lots of packs you haven't seen before.  Have you seen Trending Modpacks?  You can see it by selecting Browse Modpacks from the Discover menu at the top of the Platform, and it's a great way to discover cool packs you haven't heard of before.  It changes all the time!

So enjoy the new Platform and give the new launcher a spin.

Uh, where do I paste the API link? I can't really paste it in the Technic launcher itself so far, it's probably me being a big idiot but I dunno where to paste it, I've tried the Technic platform and it just takes me straight to the modpack again.

2 questions, Do I have to download vanilla minecraft on your launcher before using packs (I already have minecraft installed on my pc. 2nd thing is that everytime I try to download anyhting it just say "download failed"

There's nothing wrong with the new launcher. I feel like this is an improvement, giving you not one, not two, not four (but that's beside the point) THREE ways to download modpacks! It's also very easy, just search it in the search bar for almost instant results! Then you click "Install" after you choose the modpack you want, and BAM! You got the modpack! I personally feel this is more of an upgrade to Technic, not a downgrade.

I don't understand this version... I really did find the old one where you copy the thing from the site then put it on the launcher and hit play then it installs. This new one I don't understand... or i'm just dumb but i liked the old one better...

whats the url
if anyone gets the api link broken message, delete all installs of java through control panel and download this one http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html fixed it for me. don't even have to get the link from the website, the search box works.
